We did Vaseline and gauze regardless of the diapers being used. It worked well. You dont have to do it for long so if you are really worried then using disposables may be an option but we have 2 boys and no problems.

Our ds was circumcised 2 weeks ago & the urologist just told us to plan on disposables for 2-3 weeks. Yes the Vaseline will make the diapers repel & it still gets through liners. The disposables have been fine, but I miss the cloth! He's almost all healed so we'll be switching back this week!

Here in Maryland, they advise us not to use vaseline. I was given some kind of cream with my oldest and they told me to only put a certain amount on a day and the rest of the day let the sore dry up. I cut a piece of fleece to cover the area and gentle put him in his diapers. He was home for 3 days when it was completely healed. My friend used just a but of neosporine each day on her some bc she forgot to ask for this cream, and her son was good at a week old. I heard that coconut oil is also okay.
